Yes, it does make sense. But what does not make sense is not issuing a
warning or ask for confirmation.
E.g. in the second step I would have expected a confirmation.

Here for this kind of implememtation, hg should ask:
File foo already marked for deletion. Do you wish to continue? y/[n]

I assumed that due to lack of warning, hg is being clever about
understanding the intended effect.
